For Anyone Fighting Their Own Battle...

These are videos and websites of encouragement or coping mechanisms. I'm putting them into categories, so that anyone struggling with a specific problem - whether it's self-harm, loneliness, or an addiction - can find them more easily. I hope that these videos encourage you in some way. And remember - whoever you are, you can always, always come to me for comfort. I will never judge you. (My contact information can be found here: Contact Me .)

These are for you. I hope they help somehow. Remember; you are not alone. Never, ever alone.

(This is an incomplete list of links right now; please be patient while I compile the entire list.)
